over and over again...

on the rare occasion a song comes along that fits your music tastes like a worn in glove (golf, baseball, snow mitten, take your pick) you find yourself listening to it every chance you can...sometimes you even use that round-a-bout repeat button...this summer i haven't had one of these mixes hit me like this until a few days ago...

amos lee's
new album "last days at the lodge" out on the 24th is getting a lot of posts, but i figure one more couldn't hurt...his songs "listen" and "truth" are solid but "street corner preacher" has been my one and only tune lately...i don't know if it's the bluesy guitar riff, amos's southern jazz vocals, or the scat-like chorus that ella fitzgerald would get a kick out of that make it so good...see if it hits you like it hit me...
